Healing Hearts for Pet Lovers February 15

After the rush of the holidays, in the quiet of winter, the grief of a recent loss can return as we remember the people and the animal companions who’ve left our lives.

“I schedule this healing and nurturing event around Valentine’s Day each year to help mend the hearts of people who may have suffered a recent loss, or for whom an previous loss is somehow fresh,” said Deb Chebatoris, owner of Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation in Bridgeville.

When we lose one of our precious animal companions, our own aftercare is very important. I am comforted to know that Deb Chebatoris of Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation is there for me, that she will lovingly and respectfully receive the body of each of my cats, knowing that they will be handled only by her and cremated with dignity, and that the cremains I receive will indeed be theirs.

I am also grateful that for the ten years she has been in business, Deb has scheduled this one-afternoon session to provide grieving families with help and resources to work through the trauma of losing a beloved companion.

Guests will be in the company of other families who know the feeling of losing a pet. Families grieving the loss of their pet are welcome whether or not they have worked with Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation and are welcome to listen to and to share stories of their animal companions. Any person who is having trouble coming to terms with the loss of a pet, regardless of when the loss occurred, is welcome to attend.

The afternoon will involve both education and remembrance to provide grieving families with help and resources to work through the trauma of losing a beloved companion.
